Princess Wanhe smiled and said: "I guess Lian Tingzheng doesn't even know how much Yueyao has done for him. He probably thinks that everything he has today is entirely due to his own ability and luck." Princess Wanhe has business dealings in Haikou and is quite familiar with matters there. The Second Old Grand Master of the An Family avoids contact with Lian Tingzheng to steer clear of suspicion, since Tingzheng belongs to the Ninth Prince, and the Second Old Grand Master must heed the Emperor's thoughts. However, in private, the Second Old Grand Master of the An Family takes good care of Lian Tingzheng.
Guan Jingshuo laughed: "If that's the case, then there's really nothing more to say." An Zhichen joined the military at twelve and was personally mentored by Marquis Jingning, possessing equally adept skills, so he wouldn't have been titled an Earl by thirty otherwise. With such a person as a supporter, Lian Tingzheng stands to gain a lot.
